Submariner 5513 "Military" question

I've read about a military version of the Submariner 5513. Can anyone tell me how to identify if a 5513 is the military version?

Post a picture... Or are you just curious what are the specs on military Subs?
P.S
Military ref. 5513/5517 have soldered spring bars and "Custom" dial/hands/bezel and a few more details etc.


Great source of info:

Thanks...

Thanks for the info! I can tell from the posted pics that mine is not the military model - the hands are different.

I plan to post some pics of the 5513 I have with hopes of learning more about it.
